I know there is some perspective to that picture, but that Locust looks tiny. That's a good thing, for being 20 tons.

[AgroAlba]

Appropriately miniature!

[Scratx]

Here comes the Locust swarm?

[Hans Von Lohman]

It looks like the legs are just as skinny as a Spider as well, which is good.

The lights survive by being hard to hit. I know everyone loves to complain they can't hit them, but that is the point. They're supposed to be hard to hit.

If they were not, nobody would ever use them.

I don't mind them being more difficult to hit, but when I do, I'd like them to actually take the damage.

This alleviates my worries about the scaling of the locust when it comes out, can't wait!

[Monky]

It's all legs, so it won't hold up in a fight. Not that a 20 tonner is really a fighter, but this mech will have to be played very smart.

[Dexion]

Wow... Yea that's tiny. Looks to be a bit shorter then a spider, but also a bit wider.

[Escef]

And the moral of the story is, Locust pilots are the weirdest.

Time to send out the Streaktaro!

[Shiro Matsumoto]

Thank godness, Looks ok... i thought it will be bigger than a Cicada... Hm can we get a pic of it and a Commando?

[Dexion]

What I really want to see is an in game pic of a SHD next to a HBK

[Shadey99]

It's very hard to say anything much from that tiny picture except that it does look shorter than a Spider... However the Spider is taller than a Commando as well and this like a Commando looks very wide (so wide it looks like the Spider's torso on it's side)... It may be the first light that has issues running an XL engine depending on hitboxes...

!!

In the pic, the legs of the Locust look about the same length of the Spider's. The difference I see is the squatter torso which looks a bit wider but flat compared to the Spider toros.

What about Hamtaro?

[Tundara]

The Locust looks... good. About the right size. Will be interesting to see how they play. :3

[Sephlock]

Not to contribute to it's negative body image, but I think the Locust needs thinner legs.

[Ghogiel]

My stern gaze will be enough to leg them.

[SgtMagor]

ouu, it looks smaller than the spider!
